FOUNDATION

CC Cream – did not deliver as promised

After reading many reviews about the new Avon CC cream and it 50SPF I decided to try one. I purchased the “soft Honey” shade which was a tad light for my skin tone. The texture of this cc cream is very silky and light and the coverage is very minimal unlike what I expected!! It has a very strong smell which is very summery and a bit like cucumber. The SPF 50 is great for summer, however every time I use this it breaks me out like crazy. Would not repurchase!!

CC Cream

I was excited to receive this CC cream as I have never tried BB or CC cream before and wanted to see what the hype was about. I am however not sure the hype is wholly justified.

The formula is creamy and spreads easily.
It smells strongly like sunscreen and the smell does not fade.

This product claims to have buildable to medium coverage but I would say that it is definitely rather sheer to light coverage. I would not use it on its own, as my needs are medium to full coverage. I am however also not totally disappointed. Here are my pro’s and cons:

Pro’s:
50 SPF
It spreads evenly & easily
It evens out skin tone and really does colour correct
It can be used as a base/primer before applying foundation
It gives your skin a dewy fresh look

Con’s:
Very sheer coverage
Transfers very, very easily – helps a bit if you set it with powder, but then removes the dewy look
Strong sunscreen smell

I have not used it long enough to attest to its long term colour correcting properties.

But all being said…. I would buy this product again!
I will not use it as a foundation but I want to use it in summer as a tinted sunscreen.
The selling point therefore on this product for me is the high SPF and its nourishing & fading qualities.

Amazing with an A!

I tried this product last year for the 1st time, and when I took the full range, I agreed to NEVER misjudge a product by its cover. It looks boring but totes does wonder to the skin and body. Its a MUST HAVE and a MUST BUY!

Liquid foundation

I’ve bought this a few times and lately I don’t really use it.
It has a good coverage and overall smooth finish but I find that the foundation has a bit of a sparkle in it. I don’t like that, I prefer my skin to be matt.
Overall its really good. Covers up my marks/scars and doesn’t cake. Buildable coverage
